Google is trying to calm the fears of TV execs by disavowing cord-cutters. The company says it doesn't believe that cord-cutting is a real phenomenon, adding that traditional TV is still where it's at and the Google TV is largely meant for content discovery, not replacement.

Cord-cutting is simply "not happening," Google TV lead Rishi Chandra said at the NewTeeVee Live conference on Thursday. He added that the Google TV is meant to help users access the content that they already watch the traditional way, and that cable TV already does a "pretty good job of delivering content to users."
